As a legendary high-tier Ice and Mind Elent female sorcerer, Teresa's ice wall was naturally very sturdy. Whether they were the lowest-ranking Slave Rat soldiers or the higher Clan Rat soldiers, they were helpless against the ice wall. Their long spears and knives could only chip away a few ice shards.
But this doesn't an that the ratn are entirely helpless before the ice wall.
Amidst the ratn's chaotic shouting, a Fire Rat appeared.
This Fire Rat was clad in armor, carrying a bronze cannon barrel in his hands, with a peculiar device on his back resembling a backpack. On the top of the backpack was a massive dinsional stone, the device was gathering energy from the stone.
Dinsional stone is a peculiar mineral whose source is not ordinary veins, but cos from the Chaos Domain. When the Wind of Chaos passes through the interstellar teleportation gate left by the Ancient Saints into the Mortal World, the powerful Chaos Energy condenses to form dinsional stone.
The dinsional stone contains trendous Chaos Energy that can be directly utilized, but it also causes mutation in organisms that co into contact with it. Only a very few mutations lead to improvent, such as the Griffin, but the majority make the organisms more terrifying and twisted.
Yet under such conditions, the Skaven ratn successfully utilized the energy from dinsional stone for a series of technological inventions, like the dinsion cannon that collapsed the Hemgart barracks, and the flathrower in the Fire Rat's hands.
"Human thing, hide, strong, big ratman, use fire, die-die!" The ratman activated the flathrower, gathering energy from the dinsional stone, to burn the ice wall.
The green dinsional stone fla was lting the ice wall created by Teresa.
Amidst the ratn's chaotic shouting, the ice wall lted.
Inside the ice wall were several fully ard figures.
"???" The ratn were sowhat bewildered.
"Ready?" Laine raised his Warhamr with both hands, first appearing from the alleyway. Looking at these Slave Rats and Clan Rats, he exposed a cruel expression towards the horde of ratn.
"The battle begins."
Fully ard Divine Chosen Champion Laine, the heroic and valiant female knight Surya, and Veronica in flaming red leather, surrounded by fire, appeared before the Skaven ratn.
"Ha!" Laine was the first to charge forward, Mjolnir swept across, and all the gathered twenty-plus Skaven ratn in front of him were knocked flying. He smashed the Fire Rat into a pile of pulp with one hamr. Surya wielded the Leonais Sword, its flas blazing, turning any Skaven ratman approaching her into ash.
"Flaming Storm!" Veronica raised Yundi's Staff, the red fiery vortex covering the entire block.
The rat tide near Oliver Inn was temporarily cleared.
"Divide and act!"
"Yes!"
...
Hemgart, Red Hundred Fruit Inn.
The inn was already in chaos. Those huge Skaven ratn were trying to invade this rundown inn. Although the people inside tried using tables and wood to prop up the inn's door, it was of little use, and the sound of cutting boards outside was heard,
"What's going on, what's exactly going on?"
"Where is the Count's army?"
"Demon Hunter sir, please save us!"
The inn was filled with the cries of won and children. People huddled desperately in room corners, awaiting death's arrival.
With a serious face, Demon Hunter Abel held a silver rapier in one hand and a short fire cannon in the other.
It's Skaven ratn! The Demon Hunter leaned against the back of the door, observing the outside through the window's gap.
The streets were full of ratn! These ratn killed and devoured adults completely, dragged away children and young people into sewers and deep pits, never to be seen again.
Too many! A chilling sensation gripped Abel's heart as he watched the rat tide on the streets, gripping the rapier and fire cannon tightly. Even as a powerful Demon Hunter, he didn't know what to do under the current circumstances.
The ratn had noticed the commotion in the inn. Slave Rats and Clan Rats were desperately trying to ram the door, while inside, adult n pushed hard against the door to prevent ratn from breaking into the inn.
"Demon Hunter sir, what should we do?" Many desperate adults asked Abel, who was the only one who could help them.
"Wait, wait, let think of a way." Abel's forehead was drenched in sweat, unsure what to do. He had seen the military camp ablaze, but given the chaos, how could they rely on the garrison to assist?
Although he was a Legendary Tier Demon Hunter, surviving such a terrifying scale of rat tide attack was impossible. The ground, rooftop, trenches, sewers, all teed with human-sized ratn!
Facing one-on-one and one-on-hundred are entirely different concepts!
"Boom~ boom~ boom~" Heavy footsteps thundered on the roof, ratn were digging holes overhead!
"Crack!" A green glass ball fell through a small hole in the roof, shattered upon hitting the ground, filling the room with green poison gas.
"Poison Gas Ball!!!" Abel shouted, "Quickly evade!"
Too late, the inn was overcrowded, people stampeded and squeezed but couldn't escape the green gas.
Within seconds, people started coughing, their skin broke out in red bumps and pus-filled blisters, old people began experiencing difficulty in breathing, losing vision.
Another green glass ball fell from the ceiling, Abel knew the inn couldn't be defended. He rolled away from the poison ball and fixed his gaze on the ceiling.
There overhung a rat with glowing green eyes, wearing a gas mask and carrying a massive backpack filled with green glass balls.
Abel raised his hand cannon.
"Bang!"
The giant rat's head erupted in a spray of blood, falling limply from the ceiling.
It was futile. More ratn were charging in! They finally broke the ceiling and door, rushing in cruelly and cunningly. Despite adults raising crude weapons to fight, sly ratn offered no chance with each shielded Clan Rat attacking from the front, and more Slave Rats sneaking from behind and the sides. In an instant, the resistance was engulfed by the rat tide, Slave Rats gnawing madly at human flesh.
The inn turned into a bloody wasteland.
Abel snarled and charged, his rapier precisely piercing two Slave Rats' eyes. The Demon Hunter twisted around to avoid an ambushing Long Spear, unleashing three strikes with the rapier.
Three Slave Rats fell decapitated, the Demon Hunter stabbed twice to fend off nearby Slave Rats.
Useless, despite Abel's valiant struggle, the invading ratn were unceasing, and the defense line retreated every mont under the poison's influence. Many adults' bodies began to fester, limbs weakened, quickly overwheld by the rat tide, while children were dragged away by ratn coldly laughing.
"Damn it! Damn it!" The inn turned into a hell of gore, Abel fought with desperation as the rat tide cornered him.
At this mont, behind the rat swarm, a Storm Assault Rat clad in red armor wielding a long halberd commanded the rat tide.
"Human thing! Die-die!"
That must be the leader of the rat swarm! Abel's mind raced, understanding rodent nature, he decided to gamble.
The Demon Hunter slashed his way through surrounding ratn, pulling out a specially designed fire cannon from his pocket, this rune-enchanted fire cannon was loaded with rcury bullets.
rcury bullets were expensive, and Abel had no other choice left.
"For Charlemagne! For the Empire! For humanity!!!" The fire cannon discharged, the bullets whistling towards the Storm Assault Rat.
"Blam!" The Storm Assault Rat's head exploded, brain matter and flesh spraying everywhere, it fell dead by Abel's shot.
"Oh oh oh! Human, strong, Skaven, weak!" The impact was imdiate. With the swift demise of the Storm Assault Rat, the entire rat swarm plunged into chaos, the Slave Rats and Clan Rats' fragile bravery shattered, hesitating whether to continue the attack.
This is the Skaven ratn's nature, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, vying for power. Now, the thought of seizing leadership stirred in their minds, temporarily displacing their slaughtering human target.
This hesitation saved the Red Hundred Fruit Inn.
"Flaming Skull!" A female witch's shout heralded a massive fiery skull sweeping across the entire street, incinerating the whole rat swarm to char under the might of magic.
Reinforcents arrived!
